Village quartet - Peak District Sheldon

Four villages feature in this walk, each widely differing in character. Sheldon is just one street climbing the hill; Monyash, with its green and pond, is a popular place for a stop; Flagg, in a shallow bowl in the hills is off the beaten track; Taddington nestles under the hill just off the main road.

Paths and tracks cross and recross the area, several leading to the Magpie Mine, the remains of which remind us of one of the main industries of the area. These days the site is a haven for flowers emerging in spring.

Caution:  this walk has 45 stiles ( mostly easy )

Suitable for children & dogs
